I'm very happy with 'em. Apparently he's only doing them as one offs on trucks he can work on personally to ensure correct measurements and fit of the shackles and brackets. Still seems to be plenty of demand for a universal kit out there, but that's still a ways off right now.

They're beefy. I need to finish up a few brake line modifications and get some new shocks on here and then it'll be wheelable again.

As above, nothing's been "released" per se. He's doing them custom per-truck so he can get 'em 100% right with whatever rear spring setup the owner is running.

Good luck. I will also have the same springs. Shocks shouldn't matter, but the overall weight of the truck will impact it.

yeh i know shocks wont matter, just stating that everythign would be the same.

Kevin said i would still need to bring the truck to him even if he already built the shackle flip for the same setup

Good excuse to load up on a dual battery setup while you're down there :)

That's what I did :)

meh, i dont have a need for a dual battery setup, i dont have enough electrical draw


Wet cell batteries have been known to crack during offroad use. At the very least, you have a spare. A dry cell is also a way to remedy this, but they tend to be pricey and have their own drawbacks.

Exhaust re-routed. Again. Needed more clearance where the TRD muffler was for my bigass new anti-wrap bar...

Foot out of gas asap with wheel hop! How many would it make the count if another R/P let loose on you?

looks nice though. Hope to hook up with Kevin soon myself!

I never got wheel hop, but when coming to a stop, especially braking hard (dumb bitch in front of me won't run the yellow) the rear end would catch up with a solid thump, almost like being rear ended.

Truck is currently on R + P #3, first aftermarket gear set though...ECGS thought the OEM 3.73 gear was trash. Expecting this to be the last one.

waiting over 4 weeks for skids, getting ready to order Bud Built or Shrockworks or if metalmiller is still doing them here locally?
